Convert Standard Gravity (g, gn) to Centigal

Converting from g to cGal

0

Information:

  • The SI standard unit for acceleration is meters per square second (m/s²).
  • G, gn, and grav typically refer to standard gravity (approx. 9.80665 m/s²).
  • Gal (Galileo) is a unit where 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s². Centigal (cGal) is 0.01 Gal.
Conversion Details & Formula

Formula:

Result (cGal) = Input Value (g) × 98066.5

The conversion factor is derived from SI base unit conversions: (9.80665 / 0.0001)

Unit Relationship:

  • 1 g (Standard Gravity (g, gn)) = 98066.5 cGal (Centigal)
  • 1 cGal (Centigal) = 0.0000102 g (Standard Gravity (g, gn))

Equivalence to SI Base Unit (m/s²):

  • 1 g (Standard Gravity (g, gn)) = 9.80665 m/s²
  • 1 cGal (Centigal) = 0.0001 m/s²
